Premiere CC extremely slow on export

I just started testing the new premiere CC as a replacement for the Pro5.5.
Most of my clips are AVCHD from the dreadful Panasonic 130 / 160 cams.
Although the new premiere works well as far as handling these clips (surely better then CS6 with the BUG) , when I try to export to mpg2 DVD … well …. Trees grow faster.
For some reason the premiere cs5.5 does it faster, way faster than the CC.
The CUDA engine is active in both cases, but has no visible effect on speed.
The computer I am using has the I7 6 cores dual threads, 32 GB memory, SSD for system disk and GTX570 for GPU… SO WHY?

Well - as for my original problem -
I’ve made some testing and for now had no real progress as far as normal exporting.
1 .The mercury GPU is working on all testing
2. For a 75 minutes of Panasonic MTS with very basic transitions - exporting to AVI DV PAL wide and to MPEG2-DVD Pal - more the 3 hours
3. Tried same footage with maximum render quality - same results.
4. Tried with use previews - same results. (The project has the yellow line; I did not try to render into green)
5. In some cases, when trying to export to other formats, I received “error compiling movie” this seems to be related to the maximum render quality switch - I have a feeling that this has something to do with the GPU acceleration.
Now as I write this message – I am trying something new:
I marked the “match sequence settings” on the top of the export windows” this yielded a “new” exporting format name “mpeg preview” that has same frame size ,frame rate and field order as the original footage”
It worked fast and was ready in about 20 minutes or so.
Using the AME to convert this to mpeg2 DVD also was fast.
The only question – what will be the final quality when burning DVD?!
I can’t answer that now since I have a burner problem and only tomorrow I will be able to replace it and gaze on the results of this experiment.
I will, of course, update as soon as I can.
I do hope someone (adobe guys?!) will do something about solving these frustrating issue.

Aperture 1.5 Extremely slow when exporting images

Has anyone else found Aperture 1.5 very slow when exporting versions. It took about 25 minutes to export 9 images (12mp Eos 5D files) as full resolution Jpegs. They had various afjustments applied to them, but the length of time to expot seemed rediculously long. I don't recall this task taking as long in previous versions.
Does anyone know of anything that might be slowing this down? Would turning previews off help - although they had finished processing before I started. Help in this matter wouyld be appreciated
Thanks

I'm experiencing this same behavior. Exporting is ridiculously slow. Actually editing the image doesn't seem so bad, but I guess it's just doing a preview at this point and not committing the change? Seems odd as I browse back to an image I've changed and the preview is instantly up with all changes applied...
I'm playing with the trial version now, I'd really like to buy it, but the speed is completely unaccaptable on export, or large file operations.
iMac g5 1.8 ghz, ALS, ATI 9600 card. 2 Gig of ram. Nothing else running.
Photoshop is much, much faster, even batching. I realize aperture uses GPU heavily, and my GPU is not up to snuff, but when making changes to an image ... it's not bad! It's a little sluggish at times, but most changes are near real time. It's just exporting and importing that takes far far far too long.
Any possibility of a preference to offload more work to the CPU? Lightroom, Photoshop, etc do just fine, but Apertures library management is something I'd really like to purchase and keep!

Adobe media encoder extremely slow VS export from Premiere,Why?

I am exporting a 30 min AVCHD to QT NTSC DV widescreen. When I sent it to AME it was taking an extremely long time,it said it would take 8 Hours! When I put it to export straight from Premiere it only took about 25 minutes.I have CS5 on my laptop and it did not have the same problem when I sent it to AME, it only took about 20 min. I tried uninstalling CS5 and reinstalling but that didn't work. This is frustrating because I need to export a lot of files in different formats. Anyone know what can be causing this
I also tested this exporting in other formats such as MPEG2 DVD and it has the same issues.

If you queue or export from Premiere the resize will be done by the Mercury Playback Engine (ie the nVidia card does that grunt work) which makes it A LOT faster (like 4-10 times).
If you drop a file into AME directly it's done by the CPU.
Is that what you're doing?

Extremely slow PP Export with Dynamic Links

I have very slow exports from Premiere Pro that are entirely made with Dynamic Links to AE (green screen footage).
It's taking about 4+ hours to export a 12 minute video!
I'm on an iMac late 2012
3.2 GHz Intel Core i5
24 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 675MX 1024 MB
OS Yosemite
Footage is on an external HD
Project file is on main HD
Writing exported file to external HD
I've followed several troubleshooting tips including:
Uninstall and re-install CC 2014
Clean adobe media files
Check permissions on all folders
Switch Open CL to Software Only
Unchecked "Display out of sync indicators for unlinked clips"
Disabled "Show Duplicate Frame Markers"
Disabled "Show FX Badges"
I've also tried changing the location of where the final file is written to.
I've also tried this on my MBP with 2.3 GHz Intel Core i7, 8 GB RAM and AMD 6750M
Same results.
Any ideas? Am I missing something obvious here?
Thanks.

Premiere is very slow to export when title is added

Hello.
I have a 60 second piece of media that is the header for all my exports. It consists of 30 seconds of bars/tone, 27 secs of a moving clock and then 3 secs of black. It was supplied as MXF OP1a and is 376 MB.
On each export I overlay text to the 27 seconds of clock for versions, durations etc. To export this takes about 5 minutes and it appears to be the text that is the problem. If I remove the text, the export of just the remaining parts takes about 10 seconds.
I've tried it direct from Premiere and via encoder and it's the same.
When I have 40 items to export with the header it adds massively to the export time. Some items are 30" spots and it's always the clock text that takes up the time.
I have tried pre-rendering the text but this would have to be done on each export sequence and is not a great workflow.
Someone suggested making the text in After Effects but again that is not a great workflow. I would rather have this self contained within the project.
Is this normal for premiere? I've searched the forum and cannot find a similar thread.
Premiere 7.2.1
OSX 10.9.2
3.06 GHz Intel Core Duo
16GB RAM (late 2009 mac with extra RAM added)

I'm not sure the mac is relevant. I have tried this on a new 27 inch mac with 32 GB RAM and CUDA and the slowdown is still there.
Thanks for any help.

New iMac extremely slow!

Hello,
I've recently started using After Effects and finding that my imac is EXTREMELY slow when exporting my projects.
Not only is the export slow, but I can't do anything on the computer while the export is running. If a song is playing on itunes at the same time, it will start skipping every few seconds. If I want to bring itunes up or bring up safari (when it's already open) then the beach ball comes up and it takes several minutes for each program to load.
To give you some background on my situation here are my imac's specs:
27" imac, purchased in August 2011.
Running version 10.7.3
Processor: 3.1 Intel Core i5
4GB Ram
2TB harddrive. (1.88 TB available)
Ever since purchasing my imac I had issues with it not functioning very well. I wasn't using after effects at the time, but whenever I had something running on compressor I wasn't able to do anything on the computer. I eventually brought the computer in to the apple store and they replaced both my fans and the logic board. After getting it back I noticed the harddrive was extremely loud and brought it back again. This was about 2 weeks ago and apple replaced my harddrive. So right now my fans, logic board and harddrive are all brand new. Today I started hearing my harddrive again (not as loud as it was before, but I can definitely hear it working).
When After Effects was running, the only other programs running were Mail, Safair and iTunes. A few days ago it was acting up when FCP and After effects were both on at the same time. As well, the After Effects projects I'm working with are not very big. I'm doing VERY basic text-motion on clips 30 seconds long at most.
Any idea what can be causing this? and why is it that I can hear my drive working? If I'm correct I shouldn't be able to hear it...
Thanks!

But what can be causing my harddrive to make sounds?
As well, I noticed the computer getting pretty hot recently. Today I wasn't running intensive programs, just watching some shows on Netflix (with itunes and Mail being the only other apps open) and the Imac HD temp was almost at 60 degrees C and the CPU around 50. Is this normal?

Adobe Premiere Pro to edit videos export process extremely slow!

Hello,
I use Adobe Premiere Pro to edit videos, and until recently, it’s been working smoothly. The last few times I’ve tried to export, the process has been extremely slow—for example, yesterday the program told me it was going to take 22 hours to export a 527MB video.
My computer has an i7 processor and a decent video card (Radeon HD 7470) so I don’t think that’s the issue, but I can’t see it being the software since I had been successfully exporting videos until recently.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated—thanks!

Very strange : Export from Organizer extremely slow

Today I came something strange while "exporting Files as New File" from the Organizer. I decided to report it, because the observation may point to a potential improvement.
In the Organizer (PSE V7), I went through File--> "Export as New File..." to export approximately 350 Jpeg Photo-Files (around 3 MBeach) to a USB Stick. I was knowing that writing to my USB stick was slow. But the Export Process was much slower than expected. It was ***extremely*** slow and after more than 1/2 hour, only 16% of the Photos had been exported. Also my PC (Windows XP Professional with SP3) was extremely slow in responding.
I therefore diced to kill the PSE Organizer.
Then I decided to 1) export the 350 Jpeg Files first to a Folder on my ***internal*** disk and then 2) to copy with Windows Explorer that Folder to my USB Stick. This was much, much more rapid.
From this experience, I get the impression that the "Export as new File" logic of PSE is doing something very vstrange and very inefficient ...something that could get probably improved.

I may not be having a snow leopard problem at all.
Going back to an old project in 1080i of an 8 minute length. the estimated time to render is about 50 minutes it says @20% of the way thru. Thats about 6x real time.
Maybe thats what I should expect. I was hoping for a significant speed increase in rendering times with the new OS. What is teh factor averaging for other people ?
I am rendering down to 720p multi pass 2320 kbit rate .MP4 in h.264
Maybe I have a settings problem in project properties in my other project.
I also got inspired and moved the render folders to a separate disk from the source files and put the caches on a 3rd drive. my I/O readings now are at 60 reads/sec.
Thanks for helping me work this issue out with you guys. Will keep you posted.

Premiere 2014 Program Monitor extremely slow

Hi CC Community,
I am running Premiere 2014 on 10.8.4 on a powerful machine with dual GTX 580s.
I have organized my project by film days, meaning each day has its own sequence that I can jump to and scrub through.
The problem I am encountering is this: whenever I switch from one day's sequence to another, the Program Monitor window takes a very long time to update. On the scale of 30 seconds or more. Most of my footage is 2K (some 4K), which my system can handle without issue, but it still chokes up terribly when jumping through sequences.
I just sat here for almost 10 minutes waiting for the monitor to update after closing 15 of my sequences. As I imagine it, Premiere choked on each of those 15 sequences before finally catching up to the day I wanted it to land on. I have two pieces of evidence that support this theory. #1, when Premiere FINALLY caught up with where I had the playhead, I saw a flash of numerous frames that came from the sequences I had closed and also, I monitored my CPU usage and it displayed what seemed to be a series of pretty intense calculations that were not necessary. See below:
Can anyone here, or from Adobe explain why Premiere is unable to efficiently jump through sequences?
I have a 12TB hard drive array that is connected to my motherboard and is blazing fast, so it is not an i/o issue.
My CPU power and GPU power is beyond powerful enough to deal with these projects.
I have not had this issue before with CC - this is the first time I am editing on the 2014 programs though.
I do have Lumetri on my files, but with a yellow timeline, not red.
My files are either .mov or .mxf (from Sony XDCAM codec)
Thanks for your help!

Hi Sarthak,
I use Lumetri. That comes with the 2014 build though. I see no reason why it should be slowing Premiere down so much.
As I said, these issues didn't exist with Premiere CC. Have any more significant ideas as to why this is happening?
File import is also extremely slow.

Adobe premiere cs6 suddenly EXTREMELY slow and CPU intensive

Hi everyone,
I'm editing candon 5d mk III footage (h.264 files) on my late 2011 MacBook pro. Here are the specs..
240 gig SanDisk SSD harddrive (190 gigs free)
500 Gig (250 gigs free)
8 gigs ram
2.4 ghz i5 processor
Intel HD graphics 3000 graphics card
I'm a wedding videographer and I am currently closing my last edits of the season. I have edited 20+ 45 minute videos on Adobe Premiere CS6 and have had absolutely no issues at all. I enjoy working on premiere so much that I've been trying to get my videographer friends to give a shot and simplify their workflows.
Upon starting my second to last edit (same process as the other 18 videos I've done this season, organizing the footage within it's respective folder, loading it into premiere with the couples' choice in music and opening 4-5 new sequences based on the events of the day) I noticed that I was having a lot of trouble importing folders into my media bin. I had to import all of the footage unorganized because loading the folders "Preperation, Ceremony, Photos, Reception" with the footage within them would cause premiere to freeze and become unrepsonsive. So, finding no solution I added all the footage in no particular fashion. Just one large unorganized group. Then, while organizing the files into bins, I noticed even the smallest move would take several minutes to complete. Because I was working directly off of my hard drive I figured these kinds of delays would eventually catch up to me, so I moved all of my files to my HDD and decided to work on them there. The project itself continued to be extremely slow and started crashing regularly (especially when applying audio effects). After a few hours, I stopped being able to play 1080p video at all. It would jam and stutter so often it become unuseable. 720p video was the next to go along with my ability to render anything in less than 30 minutes - 1 hour. At last attempt to use premiere I was getting an "Unable to compile movie - Unknown Error" message when trying to render alpha channel things (lower third titles and things of the nature), my ability to change the resolution of the playback had disappeared (Going from full, 1/2 and 1/4 did nothing, it just remained at full quality) and finally doing anything in premiere caused it to use 300% of my CPU (based off of my Activity Monitors metering).
Does anybody have any clue as to what could be happening to my machine/program? I have a yearly subscription to adobe's creative cloud service if that helps. Oh and I've tried moving my media cache's from my HDD to my SDD with little or no results. Don't know if that helps.
Thank you to anyone who helps in advance. What I believe to be clean installs aren't doing anything so I'm hoping somebody can give me a hand.

Sounds to me like specific media is dragging the Mac to a halt. (300%, really Apple? Isn't that like saying that my car can go up to 90mph, but last night I drove it at 300% speed, 270mph)
Some things to trouble shoot:
Do you have any assets in the project that are loaded directly from strange devices, like a SD card or CD audio? Any dynamic link media that may be problematic?
Is there anything that makes this footage different than footage from successful projects?
Can you work successfully with an old project?
Can you successfully start a new project using different or less media?
Is the 500 GB drive internal or external?
One time I was sent out at from work to troubleshoot a system that would freeze up like yours. The guy was an idiot and rude client that demanded that someone from our facility help him fix his own project. He said that he had been troubleshooting for a day, and then had convinced his organization's IT guy that he needed a way over spec new pc to run Premiere.
His system was fine. Within 3 minutes of checking media in his project, I saw that top track of the problem sequence had a video clip that was set to a speed of .01%, and he had the clip stretched for 24hours in the sequence. His project was supposed to be a 2 minute PSA. All his issues went away after removing the idiotic Day Long slow motion clip. He complained to my boss because I had laughed at him.
I relate that story to illustrate that it could be a weird thing with you media or fx, just as well as a hardware or software issue.
Good Luck

Database export/exports are extremely slow

We run PeopleSoft (PeopleTools version 8.46) applications on Oracle 10g (10.1.0.3). database exports/imports were extremely slow, so when we contact PeopleSoft customer connection, we were advised to modify the init.ora file with the "_optimizer_cost_based_transformation=off". After we set the init.ora file, exports/imports are very fast.
What is optimizercost_based_transformation? will database performance have any effect by setting this parameter? Does anybody has issues with 10g export/import issues?
any help?
Thanks,

Here is the extract from PeopleSoft customer connection -
. Required INIT.ORA Parameters for Oracle 10g
. Change #1 - optimizercost_based_transformation=off
According to Oracle support: "This parameter controls whether query transformations (sub-query unnesting, complex view merging and push join predicate ) are performed using an algorithm that relies only on optimizer cost (new in 10g) or an algorithm that uses a combination of optimizer cost and heuristics (pre-10g). "
Can anbody tell me how extaclty this parameter will affect the performance of the system? Althoght we didn't see any performance issues right now (We are just in the process of implimentaion) Going forward, i am worried to have this im my init.ora file.
Any thoughts/suggestions related to this topic is helpful.
THanks,

Extremely slow exporting

11 giga is the total viedos size, and i'm trying to export it to 1080HD and the remaining time is 102 hours :))))))))))
to be honest i've been waiting for the last three days and the process is very slowwww! I moved my project to another mac but it shows the same result and time.
I have 44 giga of free space,

Make sure you aren't exporting to H.264 from iMovie. This will make the process very slow. Export to a Quicktime file with the Apple Intermediate Code instead.

Premiere Elements 10 slow on Mac

Hi,
I installed Premiere Elements 10 on a brand new computer, but it runs extremely slow.
Even just playing one short 30 second clip (un-edited, the original file) causes lagging.
I made sure that the project is up to par with the camera settings and that there are no red lines above the timeline.
These are my computer specs:
MacBook Air
Processor 1.7 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Graphics Intel HD Graphics 5000
Software OS X 10.9.3 (13D65)
As I said, it is brand new so I don't have almost anything on it but PE10 and the files I need to edit for work, so I don't think it should be a space issue.
I'm not much of a computer wiz, so I might be missing on some important info I need to share.
Please let me know if you need to know anything else.
I really appreciate the help and sorry for the inconvenience, but I couldn't find a solution anywhere else on-line.
Thank you!

Thanks for checking out the jpg and other video source Timeline performance. Enough of that. I think the results are pointing us specifically to the Panasonic footage.
Based on online description of your Panasonic recordings, I assumed that you were putting AVCHD.mp4 1080 50i on your Premiere Elements Timeline. In your last post your wrote...
I only have one other source, but it's the same type of file (.mov)
That would mean to me that you do not have .mp4 files but rather .mov files from the Panasonic. Could you double check that point - .mp4 or .mov? Under ordinary conditions one would expect AVCHD.mp4 and AVCHD.mov to be compatible with Premiere Elements with QuickTime installed on the same computer with Premiere Elements.
Right now we have
jpg, OK
another .mov source, OK
Let us try this for troubleshooting purposes only....take what your source video AVCHD.mov or AVCHD.mp4 and put it through the HandBrake program.
http://handbrake.fr/
This is going to be only a quick test. We can go back and fine tune settings later if necessary.
Open HandBrake to its Main Workspace
Source/Open File
Where it says Chapters, I typically set that to Seconds.
Destination - Browse to and set the hard drive save location for the HandBrake export
Output Settings = Container Mp4
Picture Tab (leave settings as is)
Video Tab
Video Codec = H.264 (x264)
Framerate = 25
and then
dot "Constant Framerate"
Hit the Start button at the top left of the workspace
and then
Wait for Queue Finished to be displayed in the progress bar at the bottom
left of the workspace.
The goal is to determine if you can work with this HandBrake export better than you can with the
original Panasonic file.
We will be watching for your results.
Thank you.

Multicam is extremely slow

Hi!
When I have a lot of multicam cuts on timeline - playback of video is extremely slow.
It is because of audio.
If I disable audio cuts, or turn off audio - all works OK.
Even if I delete all audio from source of multicam - this bug does not disappear.
Here is my project.
You can try it by yourself, just try to play offline video with audio enabled and disabled to see difference

Hi,
I have the same problem with the performance.
I am editting the last few months a lot with multicam and very strange things happen with the performance.
Lets first explain how I work lately:
First I take care that all my video sources are in the same (simple) format. So no MP3 sound file or MPEG video files. That takes too much performance from my PC.
I make one timeline TL_Sources with all my sources; 4 (sometimes 6) cams and 1 or 2 soundtracks. I bring them all in sync. Then I copy this time line and name it TL_Sound. I shift all sound tracks on my original down so I have track 1 free. Then I pull the sound part only from TL_Sound to this free soundtrack 1. In this way I can choose freely which cam-sound or soundtrack (from separate sound recorders) is used at which moment, mix them, put any effects and so on. But for the first edit I just select one of the sound sources and/or cam-soundtracks. All video tracks are disabled, ecept one, just for reference when editting audio.
Next timeline is TL_Main_Target, I put TL_Sources on it and make this a multi-cam. Here I decide which cam come when. As My soundtrack is on track 1, I don't have to worry on switching sound. Normally everything works fine up to now and my first edit goes smoothly and no rendering is needed. Sound is also no problem.
Bu then I decide for just one scene that the sound of an other cam should be used. So switch to timeline TL_Sound, and make some small adjustments (change volume to zero for one clip and move it up for an other, or something like that). When I now return to my TL_Main_target, I can wait for an a very long time (one hour simetimes) because ALL audio needs re-rendering!
Ok, no problem, no problem, don't get mad.
Let's asume thats all change in audio and I go on and everything work smoothly again. But now its time to sleep. Wake up next day, start PC and project and...... Wait 1 second before the playback starts! Render the whole timeline; no difference.
So next time, don't stop Premiere and leave PC on the whole night.
Then I make a copy of TL_Main_Target to TL_Guest_one. (my project is a talkshow of a bit more then one hour, three guests, one column and one music part). I remove most of the timeline and keep only the part with guest one. Imake sme edits, overlays of pictures ect. Everything ok. Do the same for guest 2, the music part and the column. And then suddenly, when I do exactly the same for guest 3 (but sometimes also with guest 2) the same sh.. happens and the system gets very slow and I have to wait again for one second for playbacks start.
Yes, I can export my audio and import it again in TL_Main_target and then it works fine. But do I have to export/import after each small change? forget it, this is the best product in video editting. Why is video, which needs a lot of PC-power working fine, but audio, which is much less data and PC-performance so slow?
Does it help to have a special soundcard?
My System: Asus P5K Pro board with Intel quad core on 2,5 Ghz, 8 GB memmory, Windows Pro 64 bits (have the same issue on the 32 bits version), 4 separate HD-spindels so I can divide all sources over more HD's, Gforce 9600. NO SOUNDCARD yet (only on-board sound) I think I will buy a soundcard this week)

IPhoto is extremely slow after upgrading to OSX Maveric

Has anyone noticed that iPhoto is extremely slow after upgrading to OSX Maverick

I've noticed that it isn't.
There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 8 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.
